Fellowships

The following is a list of fellowships & deadlines from the 2010/11 recruiting cycle. Many of the closing dates and eligibility criteria will be similar in 2011/12. We will update this list as and when the information for the 2011/12 process becomes available.

For any application, prior approval must be sought from the Head of Astrophysics

This section is in the process of being updated. Below are fellowships that we advertised last year and we expect the deadlines to be similar. We are waiting for further details and will publish them when received in the interim we thought that last years fellowshhip process may be of interest and help you in planning for this year.
